Allen & Hanburys
Allen & Hanburys was a British pharmaceutical manufacturer, established in London in 1715. Its products were sold globally, and its success was recognized with the award of Royal Warrants of Appointment, and later by a listing on the London Stock Exchange.
History[edit | edit source]
Allen & Hanburys was founded in 1715 by Silvanus Bevan, a Welshman, who became a freeman of the Apothecaries' Company, and set up a pharmacy in Plough Court, Lombard Street, in the City of London. The company was passed down through the family until it was taken over by GlaxoSmithKline in 1958.
Products[edit | edit source]
Allen & Hanburys produced a wide range of pharmaceutical products, including Ventolin, a treatment for asthma, and Becotide, a preventative medicine for asthma. Other products included Betnovate, a topical corticosteroid for the treatment of severe skin disorders, and Augmentin, an antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections.
Legacy[edit | edit source]
The legacy of Allen & Hanburys lives on today, with many of its products still being produced by GlaxoSmithKline. The company's original premises in Lombard Street is now a listed building, and a blue plaque commemorates its historical significance.
